1. No person shall enter the Colony unless he has in his possession and brings with him into the Colony a valid passport: Provided that no person shall be convicted of an offence against this regulation if he proves that he had in his possession and brought with him into the Colony some other official document establishing his nationality and identity and subsequently approved by the Captain Superintendent of Police.
2. No passport shall be deemed to be valid unless-
(1) it was issued or renewed to the holder, by or on behalf of the Government of the state of which he is a subject or citizen, not more than two years before his arrival in the Colony; and
(2) it has a photograph of the person to whom it relates so affixed as to obviate the possibility of its removal and the substitution of another photograph; and
(3) in the case of a person who is not a British subject, it bears a visa, by a British consular officer in a foreign state or by a duly authorised public officer in some part of His Majesty's dominions, which was granted not more than one year before the arrival of such person in the Colony, and which is not, by or in consequence of its terms, inapplicable to the journey on which the holder is engaged or which he has completed by his arrival in the Colony.
